Hotel Saginoyu

After exiting Kamisuwa Station, turn right and walk straight for about 10 meters. There is a lift to the overpass. After exiting, walk to the west exit. It takes 5 minutes to reach the hotel. We went the wrong way the first time. We turned left after exiting the station and walked for more than ten minutes before reaching the hotel. Hotel facilities: The room is very large and faces the lake. It is very beautiful. The hotel itself is like a large courtyard, very beautiful. It is said that there are private rooms on the 4th and 6th floors. The hotel has amber indoor and outdoor hot springs. Hotel catering: This time I booked two nights of dinner and added breakfast after arriving at the hotel. The dinner was very exquisite. I was full after eating one dish after another, but the salmon in the sashimi on the first night was not completely thawed, which was a bit of a loss; the breakfast was relatively simple, a set meal (our morning included a piece of freshly fried salmon) with a little salad, and a self-service drink, 2200 yen/person. Hotel service: Very enthusiastic, someone greeted me at the hotel gate, and a Chinese-speaking guy at the front desk helped to receive and introduce me until I was delivered to the room. The luggage was delivered to the room during check-in. Hotel facilities: There is a sightseeing boat across the street, a place for fishing on the lake and a place for bicycle rental. Unfortunately, it was windy on the two days we went there, so it was closed. There is a convenience store across the road. The nearest drugstore is across the train station, but it does not offer tax refunds. In general, this is a quiet place for a vacation. I personally think it may be more comfortable to come here when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The lakeside is not so cold, and you can walk slowly along the lakeside.

It is only a 10-minute walk from Kamisuwa Station. Facing Lake Suwa, Katakura-kan is next to it. From the service to the food, everything exceeded expectations.

The hotel is just opposite Lake Suwa, with good scenery and good sanitation. The hot springs are very comfortable. There is also a foot bath next to the lobby, but the water temperature is a bit low. The only drawback is that there is only one Chinese waiter at the front desk who speaks Cantonese, and other places speak Japanese, so it is difficult to communicate even in English.

A very nice Japanese inn. I came to Lake Suwa to visit your name. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious.
